Reduce boot-time of ME2.0 OpenWRT image #15

Closed gardners closed 6 years ago

gardners commented 7 years ago

Look at what kernel modules etc we can remove to reduce boot time. For example:

  1. many of the USB modules can probable be removed.
  2. The kernel image could be built without LZMA to save a few seconds of decompression time.

There is almost certainly other stuff we can remove.

Boot time is already much faster this week - and only one reboot is required after flashing - not sure what further work is still required?

Agreed that this can be closed, with boot time in the 2 - 3 minute range for primary functions, and 2.5 - 3.5 minutes for ssh login to become active. The main solution was to move to using a USB memory stick instead of microSD card, and some rearrangement of the boot process that was made to fix other problems. A fresh issue can be opened if boot time remains a problem.
